It has 128GB of storage as well as a microSD port for expandable storage, and a great Folio Case with storage for the included Lenovo digital pen stylus.Lenovo says the tablet will get users over 6 hours of battery life per charge, and while that isn't an industry-leading spec by any stretch of the imagination, it's likely enough for most casual users, students, and young professionals.
